Caledonia council agrees to let American Legion install lighting at Military Rock
Summary
The Caledonia City Council agreed by consensus Oct. 27 to allow the American Legion to install lighting at the Military Rock in North Park at the Legion’s expense, while noting MnDOT right-of-way concerns and requiring careful placement.
The Caledonia City Council on Oct. 27 agreed to allow the American Legion to install lighting at the Military Rock in North Park at the Legion’s cost.
City Clerk/Administrator Jake Dickson introduced the Legion’s request, saying the Legion believes the rock should be lit "to conform with Flag Code and for security reasons." Dickson told the council the city recently received an updated MnDOT right-of-way map and flagged potential encroachment; council members said lights could be installed if placement avoids the right-of-way.
Council discussion focused on placement and cost. No formal motion was recorded in the transcript for this item; the council’s consensus was to permit the installation provided it does not encroach on the MnDOT right-of-way and that the Legion pay for materials and installation.
The decision leaves detailed permitting and placement to follow-up steps with city staff and any necessary utility or right-of-way approvals. The council did not record a formal vote on the item in the meeting transcript.
